Hey I meant to upload this like 15 months ago.

enjoy!

This is a slightly revised version of the one weasel played in this video:


if there is interest I might wrap this into a small game. Enemy stats are all in the text files feel free to dick around with them if you can figure it out.

Change list from 1.5 (video version) to 1.51 (uploaded version)

Fixes:
*critical hit tables now work for player and enemies. your ship will break MUCH faster now, but so will the enemies
*no more juggling enemies that are dying.
*no more firing at enemies that are dying.

Changes:
*damage popup colors, c1f for enemy c5f for player
*Capactitor info colors, entire "draining" line now changes color to red when you are draining your cap
*entire capacitor line changes color for current capacitor level
*capacitor and drain/charge lines now turn fully grey when capped out
*energy and drain lines now change color and set to zero WHEN you cap out rather than 25 cycles after your engines cut off. This hopefully makes it a little more clear what happened when everything powers down

*Engine start up delay increased to 50 cycles (when you cap out your engine doesn't start generating again for 50 cycles, up from 25)

Btw did any one like it?

I've been spoiled by Transcendence so I don't know if I can really appreciate a game that limits you to linear upgrades of the same set of weapons/shields/etc. Why are shields activated with the X key instead of the 4 key? The critical hit effects are pretty interesting but it's a little hard to maneuver well enough to take advantage of them.

Overall, fairly neat and well programmed but it needs more variety.

Flexible hard points is a reasonable idea I have toyed with for a bit.

There would have to be some restrictions though, namely only 0 or 1 missile systems (character set limitations.) Outside of that one however the code was initially designed with modular hard points in mind.
Also allowing player to remap keys is acceptable. I like having shield separate from the weapon toggles, but using '4' for it is reasonable.
